downloadJan 8, (THAINDIAN NEWS) The much awaited Mac App Store of Apple meant for the millions of Macintosh users worldwide has got a solid start to its credit. The App store was hit with some initial glitch on its opening day but that did not deter the enthusiastic users who downloaded apps like crazy! The Mac App Store has lived up to the expectation and Apple has said in a statement that only in a day since it was thrown open for the users 1 million downloads have been registered. While some people are of the opinion that it is a pretty good beginning others are not so excited about this. Some people have said that Apple already has a huge number of Mac users and the number is not exactly jaw dropping. Already articles have started surfacing on the web about the best apps in the Mac App store.

There is no denying the fact that for getting access to the mac App store the MacBook or iMac owners will have to upgrade their existing OS to Snow Leopard 10.6.6. However, the rate download was much higher for the iOS App Store. With time the number will grow fast as there are a number of people who are still using older version of Mac OS. The Mac App Store is modeled on the hugely popular iTunes music store. The Mac users can buy ad downland apps for their machines from here. It runs as a standalone application.

To download any app the users need to have an Apple ID as well as account. There are nearly 100 apps available now but the number will go up with time.
